Honestly, this assumes that the content is even worth that. The older I get, the more conscious I am that my time left is constantly shrinking. Do I really wanna spend 3 hours watching a shitty movie? Do I really wanna spend 6-12 hours watching a shitty season of a shitty show? Nah, I'd rather enjoy an active activity than passively pass the time. I'll pay a little for the little amount of content I care about at a time to be presented in a convenient way. I'm probably not gonna pirate until they make it impossible to cycle between services, and I'm sure that's coming within a few years. Get ready for 2 year contracts for Netflix, $8/month ("for the first 6 months" in tiny print).

I think I’m too young and naive to think like that haha

For now. My knees and back ache, I don't understand a lot of new slang and memes, I have pairs of "good socks", and it'll all happen to you one day too.
